Hello everyone,
I got diagnosed with Breast Cancer 2 years ago at the age of 45 and had a lumpectomy and radiotherapy. I was also started on Tamoxifen.
I recently was put into surgical menopause due to another issue and was advised to change to Letrozole. I have been on this for just over 3 weeks now and seem to have been pretty lucky in terms of side effects but i was just wondering if anyone else who is on this medication has experienced thw following symptoms which i seem to have gotten in the past week:
Vaginal itchiness, occasional smelly urine and occasional white thin discharge. I have had tests for various other things it could be but they have all come back negative so at a bit of a loss and the only thing i can think of cusing this is the Letrozole.
Would be good to hear if anyone else has experienced this and if so what helped.
Thank you fellow warriors.
